Quotes are always interesting and some of them stand the test of time even though the persons making the quote are long gone to the big quote in the sky. Recently I read about The Best Big Data Quotes Of All Times - my favourite two are:
“Errors using inadequate data are much less than those using no data at all.”
Charles Babbage (1791 - 1871), inventor and mathematician.
“To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem – he may be able to say what the experiment died of.”
Ronald A. Fisher (1890 - 1962), biologist, geneticist, and statistician.
See the other quotes at Bernard Marr's Slideshare below:

I bet some of these quotes will makes it into my lectures notes for Statistics classes!
